i'm going to philadelphia!

I just got my plane tickets for Philadelphia--where I'll be for staging (two days of orientation and shots before heading off). I'm leaving at 9 am on January 10th. Wow, it's real, it's really real! And I'm getting there a day early and staying in the historic part of town, so I'll get to check out Independance Hall, the liberty bell and other nifty geeky delights. All of the Guinea PCVs from the west coast will be there early, it'll be great to meet everyone and have complete freedom for a day. Then I'm flying out to Africa on the 13th. Aah! I am so excited!!
